I watched parts of that game yesterday, and it wasn't Westbrook's fault. Beal has some terrible plays and supporting cast is not good outside of Bryant


I never thought of Westbrook's as a championship type of game, but it seems to me that Washington should soon win more games. They're very talented overall and so is Westbrook.


Wizards dont have any defense specialists on the roster (excepting Robin Lopez corpse).

Bertans is awful shooting the ball. He is under 30% for the season.

Rui made his season debut in the last game.

WB was net rating positive in 3 of his 4 games. He has positive personal records in rebounds, assists, and minutes. Negative records in turnovers and steals. He is shooting 42/27/65, a little below his standards (44/30/80).

At least the Wizards didnt lose any of their games by more than 10 points. They are fighting.

What's crazy about Russell finding a way to make anyone a loser? A PG who pounds the air out of the ball & can't shoot, how could that combo fail?

Sounds about right :lol:

They went all in on the offense and they’ll probably have a top 10 worst defense of all time.

Looks like Achilles tears aren’t the end for players anymore. Interesting indeed. Nice to see my guy John Wall bounce back.

DAL needs to stop him with the step back 3PT chucking and operate inside the arc if he ever wants to maximize his potential. They’re trying to make him Harden and he isn’t anywhere near as potent offensively. Not yet anyway

I’m not sure if I’m happier for him to shut up the haters or for Hornets to finally land a possible stud in the draft. Their draft record makes ours look strong
